Once everything settles down 1/4 works well. The problem I'm having is that no matter what I do all the charcoal is lighting up at the start rather then burning gradually. So I spend the first 2 hrs or so battling to keep temps down. Once everything has settled into coals than I just add 1/2 a...
Looks good - if it tasted good even better.
Don't sweat your first smoke. It takes time to learn the in's and out's of a new smoker. My first smoke on my smoker was not my best effort either.
The first 5 ribs on the racks on the right were burnt to a crisp and had to be thrown out. The rest...

I got the Trailmaster about a month or so ago and have done 5 smokes on it. There are some Mods you will have to do like seal the firebox, lower the chimney, to grate level, make a coal bin and add a baffle between the firebox and the smoke chamber to avoid a really HOT spot near the firebox...
